Like I stated: who on this board picked up your baby at the hospital in your VW?

I did, in my 1970 sedan, in 1988, wanted to drive a car I was familiar with, not Mrs. Cusser's 1982 Firebird. In either, the passenger seat had to be fully forward so that baby seat could fit in backwards like it should.

Funny, it was Snobsdale Arizona, and all the other families had sparkling new mini-vans !!! All in line with my VW.

Oh yes. I played the soundtrack to the Good, the Bad and the Ugly all the way home on my cassette stereo.

John C. Lincoln Hospital, Phoenix, AZ, Jan. 15th, 1994. I picked up my 1 day old son, and my wife in our 1972 Baja. It now belongs to my son.

I picked up my son Ben from the hospital in 1992 using my '66 Bahama Blue sunroof bug. I specifically remember having to safely strap in the baby seat.

I picked up my daughter Megan from the hospital in my '81 Westy, I think. That was in 1998 so I'll have to check my film pictures to be sure.

My dad took me home from the hospital in either the Bug or the Fastback (they had both).

The evening of the day after Christmas 1979 my wife went into labor and I rushed to the Hospital in her '73 Beetle. She got sick on the way there and...well you know Anxious

Brought her and the first of our three Boys home in it too Very Happy

My parents’ story is that I was conceived in my dad’s 61 beetle and brought home from the hospital in the same car bout 9 months later.

I don't lay claim to any babies, but I've taken my Grandmother to hospital, to the emergency entrance, in my '67 ambulance, if that counts? Laughing

I insisted.

My social circle now knows better than to tell me they're gravely ill...

April 4, 1971 to Baylor hospital and back home on the 6th with our first daughter in a 1970 red VW that I bought a month before for $1100 with 30,000 miles on it. Our only car. It was a good one.

Well did not pick my daughter in the bug....but early the previous day the wife and I were driving on east Bell Rd. Well I hit a pot hole and my wife said OOHHH. That made her water break.

Oh man, this brings back fond memories. I was stationed in Germany and brought the wife over from the states. We had a '56 Ford Crown Victoria and traded for a '64 Square Back. Our first born was brought home in the SB in April of 1964.
She was born at Wiesbaden Air Force Hospital. Wow, the years really pass fast when you are having fun.

Your parents must either be dwarfs or acrobats.

Reported or not, I think you'd be astounded at the number of people in existence today as a result of dates-gone-well in acVWs...

I brought my first daughter home in 2000 in my '82 Rabbit and my second daughter home in my '85 Jetta in 2002 along with 2 of my nephews in 1998. A third nephew was nearly born on the passenger's seat of my '95 Golf in 2010. Shocked

I've had a fair share of dates gone well in my beetles. If there's wheels there's a way. Very Happy

I also recall VW of America had a college fund for children who's birthplace is listed as in a VW. I read about it in Hot vw's a while back. They had stats of how many children were born in VWs.

I didn't bring my daughter home from the hospital in a vw, but I came home from the hospital in a blue 68 squareback back in 73. Very Happy
